Wed 8 Oct 2025 - Level 1: Enchufe, Level 2: Sencillo

We had another great week this past Weds at Port Town Brewing Co! Lots of energy and many very nice new dancers. DJ Mario kept the party rolling as usual. Looking forward to next Weds!

For Weds 8 Oct, check below for videos of the moves we will do.


Level 1 - Enchufe & Enchufe Doble

Enchufe: Enchufe (or Enchufla) is one of many rueda moves that involves switching partners. It's also one of the first moves that people learn in Rueda de Casino.


Enchufe Doble: Enchufe Doble is one of the many variations of Enchufe. We'll teach them all!



Level 2 - Sencillo

Sencillo: This fun & easy move is a great way to practice technique. The dancers mostly do enchufes so you get the chance to practice moving forwards (not sideways or backwards) and make your pivot very sharp. They do the full move without stopping at minute 2:15 if you want to scrub forward directly to it.




Beginners - Welcome! Guapea & Dame are your foundational moves

Guapea: Basic move in rueda (cuban style salsa dancing)


Dame: (Scroll down to see detailed step-by-step video.) Switch partners by lead bringing partner on right over to left. Dame is the same as Dile Que No - dame is what we call in a rueda circle and dile que no is what is done dancing one-on-one.


Dame: (Detailed step-by-step video, start at 2:00)
